  • NOPE

    Hannah, Brittney, Ben, you guys truly are doing amazing things with this pod. I love hearing my favorite movies be dissected in such a clinical/educational way while still being easy to digest. Nope has to be one of my favorite movies and when I saw the review posted for it I immediately clicked! As a young woman in my twenties this pod brings me so much joy but also resources in the sense that things I’ve struggled with or related to through my favorite characters have been made clearer to me t... more

  • *LOVE* the pod, with some suggestions

    I’m a filmmaker (writer / director) and I’ve always had a strong interest in psychology, so this is right up my alley. So informative and just plain interesting!

    Found this podcast about a year ago, and have been working through the back catalog and always excited to see new episodes. It’s a fantastic concept and I love it, with just a couple caveats.

    The sound quality is inconsistent. It’s an audio-only medium, and when sound levels are really different between the speakers or the audio qual... more

  • 10/10 INCREDIBLE

    One of my all time FAVES! Entertaining, educational, and just all around amazing. Fully living a parasocial relationship with Hannah, Ben, and Brittney. Love considering some of these movies through the lens of these deep psychological considerations. All three understand their strengths and limitations. They have wonderful guests from time to time, totally wish I had become a therapist!

  • Genuinely fantastic podcast

    Popcorn psychology is a fun romp of a podcast with so much personally shining through Britney, Ben and Hannah. I love them all and their unique insights when watching movies that I enjoy watching. They’re all down to earth, funny and delightfully authentic in their experiences and ideas of how they’d sit down on a couch with each of these movie characters. I’ve been a long time listener and these wonderful Psychs gave me the boost I needed to start my Psych bachelors here in Australia and I am l... more
